Carpenters Union Picket MTV House CBS 3
Pat Gillespie, who heads the Philadelphia Building Trades Council, represented the carpenters and other construction unions in talks with the city last week. In brief comments Monday, he said the carpenters' issue had been resolved. He declined to elaborate.
Negotiators have indicated the unions approved the confidential agreement on the renovation of the former Seamen's Church Institute in Old City.
But three men wearing placards from the Metropolitan Regional Council of Philadelphia and Vicinity of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America picketed outside the site from about 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. before driving off.
